Douglas Lee Behan

Doug, you left us too soon & will never be forgotten.

Doug was one of those people you will always miss but never forget. He was an example for all of us to keep smiling in the face of adversity. If you have to say something a little off key or talk about an unpleasant job, say it in French, because it sounds so much nicer! You are still with me, my friend.

Doug, this came up on my phone today & I reread your obituary again & the tributes. I remember you & Dennis living next door to us in N.C. & both of you being pallbearers for our dads funeral. You even showed me around Fairbanks when I visited Fairbanks. My mom was so fond of you twins that lived next door to her & kept a watchful eye on her. Doug, you are forever missed.

Still missing you. Doug was my next door neighbor in NC decades ago. His brother Tom married my sister Helen.

Charlotte, I am so sorry for your loss. Doug was such a wonderful and kind hearted man. He will be missed...he left us too soon. I am Helen's sister and met you when I visited her and Tom in the late 80's. We are all blessed to have known him.

Dear Charlotte, Tom & Helen:
No words seem adequate to express my sadness.
Char, Doug was the love of your life and the way the two of you doted on one another was a living lesson in how a marriage ought to be. I will never forget his sweet nervousness at your wedding and how his eyes teared up as you two said your vows. Aubrey and Brick remember the long, long walk they took with Doug and how they could make his finger talk with just a pull!
Doug was such a gentleman and true...

I'm sorry for your loss, Charlotte. I have vivid memories of Doug helping out when times were tough, and laughing, joking, and being a gracious friend when times were good.

Life lasts as long as it does, sometimes gives little warning to its end, and we all head back to where we came from; sometimes seemingly too to early.

So long neighbor, happy trails. Thank you for your fairness and openness.

I met Doug when I moved to Fairbanks in 1976 He is a wonderful man. I never once saw him without a smile on his face and a warm greeting. Doug was loved by many and he will be missed by many. I am lucky to have known Doug and there will always be special place in my heart for him. Charlotte and the Behan Family you are in my prayers
